It's 1:15 and still 5 outs to go in Game 1. Assuming at least a 45-minute break, Game 2 will start around 2:15 (45 minutes late).

Why does the SEC list unrealistic start times for baseball/basketball tourneys? My guess is that LSU first pitch will be much closer to 6:00 than 5:00.

This occurs every year. It's always expected to start late. Not a big deal.

it's really not that unrealistic, you figure about 3 hours for each game, and there is an hour cushion built in to most of the games, problem is when one of these games happen, it screws it up, but I wouldn't complain, gives me time to get home from work

I'm hoping it doesn't start until 7:00, because that's what time I get home.

I know what you mean. But I think they do it just in case they get lucky. If they get at least 1 quick, defensive game that finishes in 2 and a half hours, which I have seen happen before, then they already have the next game starting at the right time, which would maybe keep Game 4 from starting so late.

Last year's game 4 was supposed to be at 8:00 and started at 10:45. And ended just before 2 a.m. shite happens every year.

ETA: And then the loser had to come back and play at 1:30.
